The court released Deshabandu Tennakoon on two sureties of Rs. 1 million each.
Deshabandu Tennakoon was wanted in connection with the shooting incident in front of a prominent hotel in Weligama in 2023.

After an open warrant was issued to arrest Deshabandu Tennakoon, he surrendered before the Matara Court, having evaded arrest for 20 days, and was remanded. (Newswire)
